All I'm saying is... "Yuck!" SHINE.YAHOO.COM reports:Ever feel like nothing is secret any more because of the Internet? You may be right. It took 4Chan users only 15 minutes to track down and bust the Cleveland-area Burger King employee who stood on top of two containers of shredded lettuce and then posted a picture of the gross act. 4Chan is a bulletin board-type website where members post images and comments.

No.
Otherwise it would have been shut down by the health inspectors or critics. Or people would be complaining and the buisness would go downhill. Either way the resteraunt wouldn't be open if the food was actually unsafe for human consumption.
Leave it to one incoherent individual to put not only a negative connotation towards these places, but an everlasting label as well. :/

I'm actually in between...because you never know who is going to do something nasty to your food just because they think it's funny...but if you have a well run, clean restaurant with strict managers and employees who respect other human beings, then you should be fine. The problem? You never know!

OK - sad story from when I was 16. A buddy of mine and I opened a fast food place with the manager early one morning. We had one last case of Ketchup - I think one gallon to get us by until a new shipment. My buddy opened it wrong and it went all over the floor. Rich was so afraid the Manager would fire him that we scooped the Ketchup off the floor into the containers. I know - SAD - but when you are 16 you are not all that responsible, thus the reason eating fast food is a risk. I wish I had a buck for everytime I had an upset stomach or felt bad after eating fast food and everytime I think about this story.

It hasn't been safe for as long as I can remember. I know a guy who worked at McDonalds a few years ago, he used to spit in burgers everytime the boss got on his nerves (and that happened a lot). I told him that's gross but he said worse things happened during his employment there. That's why I only eat out where I can see the kitchen while they prepare my meal, junk food or not.

The government oversight are the same for fast food as it is for fine dining. To tell you the truth, I've worked in both. I think I saw more people mess with people's food in the fine dining industry than I did in the fast food industry. But if you are really concerned about it, stay at home and cook for yourself.

The only thing I can see being unsafe in fast food restaurants are the idiots that do crazy things to people's food because they deem it to be "hilarious".
Fire the idiots and you won't have a problem.

just some stps guys doing "fun"...
u can judge whole system...
we need to stop this, so we cant trust in anythig or anyone
imagine someone posting a pic doing pee on water, soda or anotehr drinks or something like that

I used to work for Burger King. one time my Manager dropped onions on the floor, and instead of washing it or throwing it out, she threw it back into the onion bin and put it on burgers. Keep in mind that our grease traps were leaking and the floors were always dirty and were hardly washed

I wouldn't say it's any more unsafe than say, airplane food, like the sandwiches with the needles. There are a lot of sick people in this world who do this kind of thing for s**** and giggles. Why I have no idea. Then again, I was raised by competent parents, so I don't understand this type of behavior.

if it really was, then why are the doing so well? all those that said yes are hypocrites as every one of them has eaten at a fast food chain before. Why would you knowly and willing eat someplace that you deemed unsafe. DUH!
